Introduction: Do you want to come home with great stories to tell? Take our 14 day tour that whisks you away to some of the most remote and awe inspiring sights on the planet: The driest desert on earth, the highest capital city in the world, the world's largest salt flats. From Chile’s European capital we head northwards along the Pacific coast, ducking inland to the fabulous little Indian town of San Pedro de Atacama before venturing onwards across the great, wild expanses of the altiplano, empty save for pink flamengoes. We cruise through the colonial highland towns of Sucre and Potosi, before rounding our trip off in Bolivia’s bustling capital city of La Paz.
